Q. Table provided gives data on gross domestic product (GDP) for the United States for the years 1959–2005.
a. Plot the GDP data in current and constant (i.e., 2000) dollars against time.
b. Letting Y denote GDP and X time (measured chronologically starting with 1 for 1959, 2 for 1960, through 47 for 2005), see if the following model fits the GDP data:
Yt = β1 + β2 Xt + ut
Estimate this model for both current and constant-dollar GDP.
c. How would you interpret β2?
d. If there is a difference between β2 estimated for current-dollar GDP and that estimated for constant-dollar GDP, what explains the difference?
e. From your results what can you say about the nature of inflation in the United States over the sample period?
A neighborhood is trying to set up school carpools, but they need to determine the number of students who need to travel to the elementary school (ages 5–10), the middle school (ages 11–13), and the high school (ages 14–18). A histogram summarizes their findings:
Histogram titled Carpool, with Number of Children on the y axis and Age Groups on the x axis. Bar 1 is 5 to 10 years old and has a value of 3. Bar 2 is 11 to 13 years old and has a value of 7. Bar 3 is 14 to 18 years old and has a value of 4.
Which of the following data sets is represented in the histogram?
A. {3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4, 4}
B. {5, 10, 4, 11, 12, 13, 12, 13, 12, 11, 14, 14, 19, 18}
C. {5, 6, 5, 11, 12, 13, 12, 13, 14, 15, 11, 18, 17, 13}
D. {3, 5, 10, 11, 13, 7, 18, 14, 4}

It is an indirect measure of the person’s body fat and an indicator of obesity. Results from surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that the estimated mean BMI for US adults increased from 25.0 in the 1960–1962 period to 28.1 in the 1999–2002 period. [Source: Ogden, C., et al. (2004). Mean body weight, height, and body mass index, United States 1960–2002. Suppose you are a health researcher. You conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean BMI of US adults in the current year is greater than the mean BMI of US adults in 2000. Assume that the mean BMI of US adults in 2000 was 28.1 (the population mean). You obtain a sample of BMI measurements of 1,034 US adults, which yields a sample mean of M = 28.9. Let μ denote the mean BMI of US adults in the current year. Please Formulate the null and alternative hypothesesarrow_forward
